[Bug 1064] New: iptables-save fails silently in unprivileged lxc/lxd container

https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1064

            Bug ID: 1064
           Summary: iptables-save fails silently in unprivileged lxc/lxd
                    container
           Product: iptables
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: iptables-save
          Assignee: netfilter-buglog at lists.netfilter.org
          Reporter: phiphi at phiphi.ch

Originally reported to https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/1978

in an unprivileged lxc container, /proc/net/ip_tables_names is not readable.

iptables-save gives no output, but returns exitcode 0.
open("/proc/net/ip_tables_names", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EACCES
(Permission
denied)
exit_group(0)                           = ?
+++ exited with 0 +++

iptables-save command returns no output while iptables -nL works as expected

iptables-save is required to manage firewall with Puppet inside the containers,
as puppet relies on its output for deciding with which order it should add a
rule. Currently, the last rule drop all gets added at position 0 which will
instantly block all traffic to that container.

Is it a bug, that /proc/net/ip_tables_names is not readable by unprivileged
containers? Where should this be reported?

This fix is available since 4.5.

Could you run this version to confirm this is already fixed?

Will pass this to -stable so this propagate to other branches if so. Thanks.

[Bug 1064] iptables-save fails silently in unprivileged lxc/lxd container

https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1064

--- Comment #4 from Philipp Gassmann <phiphi at phiphi.ch> ---
Thank you. I don't have experience testing kernels. I just use regular
Ubuntu.

Can you quickly explain what was changed that should fix the issue? how is it
fixed, should iptables-save now work within unprivileged lxc/lxd containers?

Steps to reproduce:

    Install ubuntu 16.04 with btrfs filesystem.
    Install lxd: apt install lxd
    lxd init
    create a new container: lxc launch ubuntu:xenial iptables-test
    Enter container: lxc exec iptables-test -- bash
    Add iptable rule: iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
    List rules: iptables -nL
    execute: iptables-save
    No output is returned

If this fixes the issue, could this be backported to the ubuntu-lts kernel
(4.4)?

--- Comment #6 from Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo at netfilter.org> ---
Yes, this can be backported to vanilla 4.4 kernels. And I guess ubuntu-lts
kernels rely on these that are available at kernel.org, but I'm not a ubuntu
developer so I cannot confirm this.

In kernel.org, we have -stable branches, so we can request stable submissions
so fixes can be passed back on the Linux kernel tree.

Going back to the question: it is that it is important to confirm that this is
indeed fixing your issue. That's why I'm requesting that you take the
time to
give a try to 4.5.

Tested it in Virtualbox on Ubuntu 16.04 with Kernel 4.5.2 from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.5.2-wily

Unfortunately I get the same results.

Had to add configuration because of incomplete apparmor support in the mainline
kernel.

Why does it exit sucessfully?
iptables-save should not exit 0 if anything fails.

--- Comment #9 from Phil Whineray <phil at firehol.org> ---
Regarding the kernel patch, it requires the following sequence of system calls,
so that a mapping for root is available before the network namespace is
created:

unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER);
/* Setup any mappings */
unshare(CLONE_NEWNET);

I expect lxc, since it predates the patch just unshares the network namespace
at the same time as the user namespace, which will not have the desired effect
in this case.

I don't know how lxc works; are unprivileged containers started direct from
the
command line or via a daemon? If the former, could someone try running it with
"unshare -r"?

lxc now contains a fix in version 2.0.1 which was released yesterday.

--- Comment #11 from Philipp Gassmann <phiphi at phiphi.ch> ---
With lxc/lxd 2.0.1 and kernel 4.5 iptables-save runs successfully.

https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/1978#issuecomment-220998013

Kernel-fix should be backported to Kernel 4.4 on Ubuntu xenial.
